Sometimes life can have a very cruel way of telling us that there are certain jobs that we are just not cut out for. I can think of a few that I'm not terribly good at. Fortunately for me, Real Estate is a very big umbrella, and there are a few disciplines in real estate that I'm well suited to. The day that someone clobbers me with a chair is the day that I'll have to rethink my strategy.

Malcolm... I, too, love real estate, but have found that in the last twenty years the "job" has morphed from a job to a profession to a business... and more is expected from us now...

I can think of so many jobs that I’m not cut out for. Anything mechanical immediately comes to mind!

More Sage advice from my northern friend. I have just put down my harpsicord and will no longer be performing in public. Now are you planning to buy or sell your home in the next 30 to 60 days?

Chris, it does seem as if quite a lot is expected, and we do have to be knowledgeable about many things.
Janice, LOL, your husband is a bit of a brute.
Jim, you too? I'm not terribly mechanically inclined myself.
Al and Peggy, Haha, the baby looked a little shocked too.
Larry, A harpsichord? Maybe you could compose musical listings in the Baroque style.

Laura, haha, I'm a sucker for those types of videos too. While I personally don't condone violence against untalented French buskers, I can see how others might think it's appropriate at times.
Janice, I think everybody shared the same opinion of the singer it just took one special person to do something about it.
John, that indeed was a very effective way of making a point. I'm not sure the point would be worth an assault charge though. Maybe it's legal in France though.

Perhaps the guy with the phone should have moved to a new location--however direct confrontation is obviously more his style--bullying is another name for it. I'm with you, violence is not the solution.
